The Ace 8B flash by Adam Ondra

Adam Ondra reports on Insta that he has flashed Jerry Moffattโ€™s The Ace (8B) at the Stanage. "๐ŸŒฆ I have just come back from an intense week in Sheffield in the UK ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ A lot of exciting stuff was filmed, and you can look forward to quite a few exciting videos! ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿค›" (c) Petr Chodura

This should be the first flash of The Ace, which is a sit start to THE JOKER (8A), and Ondra's 12th flash 8B or 8B+. "Freak moment! Executed just perfectly! Thanks for the beta Will and Leon for beta, and extra psyche by the legend himself Jerry and Magnus!"
